This invstigation aimed to study the importance of morphological and anatomical traits with total phenols in leaves and bolls for insect resistance and evaluate the hybrids of Giza 88 okra leaf shaped and cultivar Giza 88 with promising cross [{G.84 x(G.70 xG.51B) x pima 62 }].The trial was conducted at Sakha Research Station during 2010 and 2011summer seasons. The results indicated that the leaves of line G.88 okra leaf characterized by narrow lobes while Giza 88 was wider lobes. Giza 88 characterized by increase for size of leaf nectaries and No. of bolls nectaries. Total phenols in leaf was high for the parent Giza 88 okra leaf, while F1 was intermediate between its two parents. The anatomical study revealed narrow difference between anatomy structural of the two parents Giza 88 and line Giza 88 okra for leaves. Anatomical features were observed, firstly the extension of the palisade tissue towards the mid vein of two parents exhibited palisade tissue, secondly the presence one in G.88 okra while G.88 had two small reverse oriented bundles separated. The F1 had not small reverse oriented bundles. The results of principal components exhibited that the two factors I and II were more importance about 87.45% of total variance, while the two factors III and IV were less importance about 21.11% of total variance .Factor I accounted for 40.32% of total variance including lobbing index , spongy tissue thickness, mid vein thickness, width of main vascular bundle and No. of xylem rows had positive loading indicates the direction of relationship between factor and variables .Factor II accounted for 38.13% including laminar thickness, spongy tissue thickness , width of main vascular bundle, No. of xylem vessels in row and total phenols of leaves and bolls, the results of anatomical traits play considerable role for resistance with that total phenols. It could be concluded that traits of laminar thickness, spongy tissue thickness, width of main vascular bundle and No. of xylem vessels in row have interrelation ship with total phenols of leaves and bolls that these traits play the main role in insect resistance. It could be concluded that traits of laminar thickness, spongy tissue, width of main vascular bundle and No. of xylem vessels in row have interrelationship to total phenols as indication for insect resistance in positive direction, no differences were noted between the structural anatomy of the two parents Giza 88 and line Giza 88 okra leaf for leaves, but the leaves of line G.88 okra varied morphologically by narrow lobes.
Field experiments were carried out during the two growing seasons of 2014/2015 and 2015/2016 on 1 st and 2 nd ratoons of Williams banana plants irrigated with saline water and received potassium silicate and/or yeast extract. Growth, flowering as well as yield and fruit quality were evaluated. The data indicated that both materials were very effective in increasing salt tolerance, all growth parameters studied, earliness flowering and maturity, bunch weight and improving fruit quality compared with the control. Yeast extract showed additive effects to the potassium silicate in this respect. Thus, it could be recommended that supplementations of K 2 SiO 3 to the saline irrigation water accompanied with spraying yeast extract four times, 4 weeks intervals, from the middle of April induced salt tolerance and productivity of Williams banana plants, irrigated with pumped saline water. Potassium silicate at 3% combined with yeast at 20 g/l gave the best results with regard growth, flowering as well as yield and fruit quality.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
